vmware install in fc11

Hi,
frnds, I m trying to install vmware in fc11 but I m getting some error message as blow. Please help me.
Your kernel was built with "gcc" version "4.4.0", while you are trying to use
"/usr/bin/gcc" version "4.4.1". This configuration is not recommended and
VMware Server may crash if you'll continue. Please try to use exactly same
compiler as one used for building your kernel. Do you want to go with compiler
"/usr/bin/gcc" version "4.4.1" anyway? [no]

Hi -
I do realize that, yes. Recompilation of any VMware modules would be
inconsequential because that's exactly the problem we're solving anyway.
Fedora has a heavy development cycle, its not meant to be a server or
having any sever-class properties, thus a reboot would be a negligible
part of the process.
If the OP was wanting Enterprise quality to mitigate reboots and such,
then they would be using RedHat or CentOS, which has an older, more sane
version of GCC, 4.1.2, that I know for a fact works without incident
with VMware Server.
I'm not trying to bring up any kind of argument, I'm simply stating that
in a well maintained world this wouldn't be a problem, because an
updated gcc version almost always implies an updated kernel version for
"compatibility", just the same way as peanut butter requires jelly.

Hi -
This is absolutely not advised.
Many other, more important things rely on an exact version of GCC, since
that's what they're compiled against. Further proof is VMware itself
complaining about this. The ultimate solution to this is to use 'yum'
to upgrade that very same kernel (2.6.30.5-43.fc11 is current), which is
built with gcc 4.4.1. This will make the error go away.
However, if you wish to continue like Jalal suggested, you can give it a
shot and see how well it works. I do recall running this configuration
without any ill effects; resolving this the right way right now will
mitigate headaches later.
Thanks!
